Last night, Mavrick, my 6th grader, had to write a paper about his road map. The road map was an illustration of important events in his life. The event he chose to write about was his trip to see the Monster Energy Supercross at Cowboy Stadium in the spring of 2011. I had to type the paper for him, and I was very impressed at the impact it had made on him.
He remembered who took the "hole shot" in the 450's. He remembered who won that night (Villapoto). He even remembered that James Stewart crashed into Ryan Dunge - and that it was right after Stewart had been arrested for impersonating an officer so fans were really talking a lot of smack.
In the paper, he said that was the night that his life changed forever because it made him want to be a professional supercross rider. He wants to hear the crowd cheering him on and yelling his name. It was really a great paper, and I was so proud of him for remembering so much about the event. We will definitely take him again when they travel this way. Thanks Monster Energy!
